Only after Li turned around and went back into the house did the yard become quiet again.
“Wuwuwu…!!”
Hua Li, curled up in the snow, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
He shivered his frozen fingers, raised his head and looked at the puppy in his arms that had no breath. He touched the puppy's head with his hand, and with a light touch, the limp head drooped down.
Dead...
“Wuwuwu…”
Hua Li's tears were streaming down his face, his eyelids were swollen, his mouth was open, and the wind and snow kept pouring into his throat. He cried heartbrokenly.
"Okay, stop crying. If you keep crying, your grandma will come out and scold you again."
Hua Xiao let go of Xiaoying and walked over from the corner under the eaves. He looked at the puppy that was still bleeding, his face pale.
She walked into the snow, stood beside Hua Li, and watched him crying inconsolably, his eyes a little red.
Hua Li raised her tearful eyes, tilted her head back, and glanced at Hua Xiao. She suddenly exerted some strength in the hand holding the puppy's corpse, and turned her head to look at her second brother who was standing by the well.
He sobbed and asked, "Why... why didn't you help me...?"
His crying voice was filled with complaints and accusations...
Hua Yu, who had been squatting at the wellhead with his back to them, suddenly stood up when he heard the complaining question, turned around, and looked at Hua Li, whose eyes were blurred with tears, with cold eyes.
"I told you not to bring it back, but you refused to listen."
Hua Yu's voice sounded cold and emotionless.
Hua Li stopped crying, her expression seemed dazed for a moment, she lowered her head, and with blurred vision, she stared at the puppy that had already died, in a daze.
He was the one who insisted on bringing it back... Woohoo, if it weren't for him, Xiaobai would definitely have lived a few more days. Even if he starved or froze to death outside, it would be better than being strangled to death...
Woo woo woo…
Hua Li covered her mouth, tears filled her eyes, swirled around, and then fell down in big drops like beads that had broken off the string.
This time he didn't cry out loud, but just shed tears silently, his heart full of self-blame.
Hua Yu watched him cry, her expression unchanged. She continued indifferently, "What's the point of crying? Have you forgotten about the dog you brought back last time and held in your arms until it froze to death?"
Hua Li sobbed and cried, "Second brother...don't say anymore, next time I will..."
Next time? What will happen next time? Will there be a next time?
He killed another living life...
It was like this last time, and this time...
Hua Shi stood at the open gate of the courtyard, watching everything happening in front of him, and walked in silently.
She squeezed the sack hidden behind her back, feeling numb and her body stiff from the cold. She was almost losing feeling in her hands and feet...
The weather is getting colder...
Hua Xiao watched him cry, sighed, and urged, "You'd better take it out and bury it quickly..."
It's heartbreaking to see. I shouldn't have brought it back in the first place. I was hoping that grandma wouldn't know and could hide it from her. Even if grandma didn't know, they couldn't keep it alive. They didn't even have anything to feed it.
It would be better to just let it stay outside and let its fate take its course. If it is lucky, it might be able to survive outside. But if you bring it back, it will be killed by the milk... Really.
Hua Shi stuffed the bag in his hand into Hua Xiao's hand, then bent down and pulled up Hua Li who was still sitting on the snow.
Hua Li cried so hard that she couldn't calm down for a long time. When she was pulled up, she looked like a lost soul. She was completely immersed in guilt, and the self-blame almost buried her.
"Give it to me, I'll help you bury it."
Hua Shi lowered her eyes, looked at him calmly and silently, and spoke in a low voice.
She stretched out her hand and was about to take the puppy from him.
Hua Li raised his red and swollen eyes with difficulty, glanced at Hua Shi, remained silent for a while, and hugged the little white dog's body tightly, refusing to let go.
He was feeling sad, but he also didn't approve of Hua Shi in his heart and was unwilling to hand over the little white dog...
Hua Xiao, who was standing by, was suddenly stuffed with a bag of things. She was stunned for a second, then subconsciously lowered her head, opened the bag and took a look.
Then, after seeing clearly what was inside, her eyes suddenly lit up.
So much rice and noodles!
Hua Xiao raised his head, glanced at Hua Shi, and then looked at Hua Li who was holding the little white dog in a stalemate.
Seeing that Hua Li was reluctant to let go, Hua Shi sighed and took his hand back.
She had been thinking about whether she could take the little white dog out, give it some spring water, and then see if it could be saved.
Since Hua Li refused, she couldn't forcefully take her away...
"Hua Li, give it to her."
Hua Xiao took two steps forward, tugged at Hua Li's clothes, and then continued to persuade, "Your clothes are all wet from the snow. There's hot water in the kitchen. Go get some water and go back to the house to soak. Change your wet clothes and dry them, otherwise you'll have nothing to wear tomorrow."
Hua Li lowered her head, staring at the little white dog in her arms. Her vision became increasingly blurry, and she felt a little dizzy. It felt like something was constantly buzzing in her eardrums, very loud...
Very noisy...
"Hua Li!!"
Hua Xiao suddenly screamed.
Hua Li's body, which had just been standing well, suddenly went limp, he lost the strength to support himself, and fell to the side.
Hua Xiao was standing closest to him and was startled by his sudden limp body. She quickly reached out to help him.
Fortunately, Hua Shi was quick-witted and reached out to pull them up, otherwise the two of them would have fallen down, one pulling the other down.
